Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

[sawtooth]

Emery has spent a fortune. He is bang average. Fine, if the club has zero ambition, but he will never compete with Klopp or Pep. There is no point in giving him time, he is David Moyes reborn.

They need someone with vision. Someone who can get the players on board with that vision.

Someone like Nagelsmann.

Dislike and disagree.

I know it’s only Forest in the Carabao cup but plenty of reasons to be optimistic and positive about the future. Young players on display are quality and need time to get even better. We can’t fall into a trap of switching managers every 1-2 years there’s no quick fix out there IMO.

Emery is slowly integrating these young players into the first 11 and most will be regulars in 2-3 years time. For example Holding, Tierney, Willock, Martinelli and even Chambers now is looking like the player we hoped he would become.

Your assessment of Emery is harsh and unjustified. Dropping Ozil ( and Mustafi) like he does shows me that he is no fool, the easiest thing to do for a “bang average” manager is to choose to play all of the big earners but he refuses to play people on reputation alone and is not frightened to change things up.

Easy to look at that one game. Harder to ignore a year and a half. He is just the wrong fit for Arsenal.
Most of the kids playing last night are the product of Freddie, not Emery.

Some interesting scores tonight. Bournemouth going out at Burton, Rochdale level at Old Trafford and Wham being embarrassingly slapped by Oxford.

And you follow City?

Glory......

Oh dear.

 

[ColchesterFC]

And you follow City?

Glory......

Glory hunting trophy whore?

Although as a long standing Man City fan that's almost certainly unfair (of me) on Tashy as he's been through the bad times and deserves to bask in their recent triumphs.

😂😂😂😂😂👍

Only for the last 8 years 😁. Oh the cold nights I spent at spotlands supping boiling Bovril.

So our reward for beating Spurs is an away trip to Crawley. Hopefully we can get through that and get a decent away trip in the quarter finals. Although I won't be putting any cash on us getting past Crawley.

You have no shame do you Tashy 😁😁

Nice of the EFL to give us a bye into the quarters 🤭😉

Nope, 😁. Joking aside, when we emigrated from Rochdale to Mansfield in 1970. I needed my football fix, I was only seven. I remember when I Was 5 or 6 and we used to sneak into Rochdale rugby league every Sunday to watch speedway or Stock car racing. Live sports was in me blood. Anyway when I was about 11 I got a season ticket at the Stags. Mansfield Town. It was brilliant. That last game of the season at Wrexham when Ernie Moss rose like a salmon to head the winner. Stags div three champions and playing in the old div two. Which is now the Championship.
Happy days. Still kinda miss the three hours each way two or three times a season when me old man took us to Maine rd, coming back usually talking about another defeat.

Ooooooooow there's some rib ticklers in that draw.

No argument from me there!

 

[Kellfire]

You know what - I think OGS might not be a very good manager.

Burton last year was the toughest 🤭

OK, so it's not PL footy, but relevant to a few of us
Barcelona joke fine.
